"If this Member State fails to inform the Commission within two months of the measures it has taken to ensure full compliance with EU law, the Commission could refer the case to the EU Court of Justice.....The United Kingdom has failed to notify the Commission of all the measures taken to enforce the new Directive although required to do so by 29 June 2011. The United Kingdom has only notified the Commission of partial measures of implementation."

"Directive 2006/126/EC updates Directive 91/439/EC on driving licences, by for example introducing new driving licence categories and a harmonised period of validity of the driving licence document.......Denmark, Lithuania, the United Kingdom and Portugal still have not fully transposed this Directive into national law, although they were required to do so by 19 January 2011."

January and June 2011? 2011??? Oops!

One wonders who will get put through the carwash and/or keelhauled? Hammond or Greening? The latter is lucky in that she is 'justin' time to qualify.

I too have an older type of licence. And I don't propose to change it.When there is a PM who is willing to tell the EU to eff off, then I'll begin to believe that we have collectively regained our cojones and are willing to relearn how to govern ourselves. Death to socialists.

WfW, thanks for info, haha. One of my neighbours is over 90 and still drives himself to the local shops. I'm 59 and expect to be able to drive for at least the next 10 years. After that, I'll have to see what the socialists have done to our country. If I can still possess a licence, then I'll do that otherwise, I'll use my savings to hire hitmen to exact retribution on the deserving (just kidding).
